Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

For example, facing a maze.

Traditional electronic computers can only try one path at a time and use brute force algorithms to eventually find the correct path.

Quantum computers can try all paths at the same time, so finding the correct path will naturally be much faster.

Most importantly, quantum computers can demonstrate better performance in intelligent AI because they can accelerate matrix operations, optimize the computing process through extremely high parallel capabilities, and assist intelligent AI in finding the right one among many possibilities.

Intelligent AI occupies a very high weight in Li Qingsong's current industrial power.

Shengong, Shennong, Wukong, Luban, Nuwa, Jade Emperor...

Once quantum computers are successfully developed and put into practical use, the improvement of other intelligent AIs can be put aside for the time being. At least the capabilities of the Shengong AI can be greatly improved. In this way, we can achieve a significant increase in overall industrial strength while keeping the maximum number of consciousness connections unchanged. It will be possible to complete the construction of a fleet 20 times the current size within 25 years!

Now that he is being hunted by the intelligent mechanical scourge, conquering quantum computer technology and developing a high-performance quantum computer with his own technical route is almost Li Qingsong's only chance of survival!

A long time ago, Li Qingsong had been conducting research on quantum computers with reference to the technology of the Bluetook civilization.

Although there have been many advances, there is still a certain distance from true practical application.

However, the quantum computers of the Blueprint civilization are not compatible with Li Qingsong's existing technological system due to differences in technical routes. They can only serve as auxiliary and are unable to truly take on the heavy responsibility.

So, the only question now is, with only five years left, can I achieve a technological breakthrough in quantum computers?

Is it possible to upgrade quantum computers from their current “toys in the laboratory” to ones that can truly be used on a large scale?

But... I don't seem to have any other choice at the moment.

Then don’t think about whether you can do it or not, just try your best!

Li Qingsong really made up his mind.

At this moment, Li Qingsong's industrial strength was running at full capacity. Many factories immediately switched production and began to produce related equipment and materials. A large number of spacecraft shuttled back and forth between the planet's surface and space. It only took a few months to build an unprecedented huge space laboratory.

This is a huge laboratory with a diameter of 3 kilometers and a length of 6 kilometers, and the overall shape is still a drum.

Quantum Lab!

The outside of the quantum laboratory is composed of three layers of rollers, each of which is about 200 meters thick. The speed of its rotation around the main axis can be precisely adjusted, so that different gravity can be created according to different needs.

Inside the three-layer drum is a cylindrical main shaft that remains stationary, and the interior maintains a low gravity or zero gravity state.

This huge laboratory is divided into more than 1,000 areas, covering various branches of quantum supercomputing technology, used to study decoherence problems, environmental interference, high-performance heat dissipation, refrigeration, new superconducting materials, error correction technology, laser precision manipulation, algorithms, systems, programs, etc. Each technical branch occupies a huge space.

The total number of clones working in this laboratory reached 5 million.

But this is not all that Li Qingsong has devoted to the research of quantum supercomputing technology.

On other planets and space bases, Li Qingsong also built more than 1,000 auxiliary laboratories, in which there were more than 2 million clones.

The number of clones working on the front line exceeded 7 million, but in addition to these 7 million clones, Li Qingsong also drew on the brainpower of 100 million clones, letting these clones do nothing. Even their meals were taken care of by other clones. They lay in bed all day thinking about various problems in scientific and technological research.

The thinking results of these 100 million clones will be synchronized to the brains of the first-line clones in real time, allowing these first-line clones to adjust the next experimental direction based on the thinking results.

The data produced by the next experiment will be synchronized to the brains of these brain clones in real time to support their next thinking.

In this way, they promote each other and circulate each other.

At the current stage, mobilizing a total of approximately 110 million clones to join the research and development of quantum supercomputing is already the limit of what Li Qingsong can do.

After all, other aspects also require a lot of manpower.

The industrial system needs to be maintained, and previously accumulated technical conjectures and related research on improving spacecraft performance also need to be done by clones.

But even if there are only 110 million clones joining the research, the scientific research capabilities they possess have far exceeded the original human civilization and the Blueprint civilization.

According to rough estimates, the scientific research capabilities of these 110 million clones are at least ten times that of the entire Blueprint civilization combined!

The scientific research strength is equivalent to that of ten Blueprint civilizations combined, and now all of it is invested in the quantum supercomputing project.

This is the confidence that Li Qingsong has in mastering this technology within five years.

In addition to devoting all his energy to two extremely important scientific and technological research projects, namely quantum supercomputing and optimizing and improving spacecraft performance, Li Qingsong also spared some energy to do a third thing.

He built dozens of heavy transport ships with a single full load mass of around 10 million tons.

The reason why it is not built bigger, or even directly used as an aerospace mothership, is mainly due to concealment considerations.

Each of these transport ships contains 10,000 hibernating clones and carries a small number of extremely critical industrial equipment, such as simple but highly reliable chemical power generation equipment, mining equipment, ore refining equipment, casting equipment, chemical equipment, primary agricultural planting and breeding equipment, etc.

There is a supercomputer inside each transport ship, which is not only responsible for the overall control of the spacecraft, but also carries all the scientific and technological data of Li Qingsong over the years, as well as the program codes of all intelligent AIs such as Jade Emperor, Shengong, and Wukong.

Afterwards, these heavy transport ships, under the autonomous control of the Jade Emperor AI and following Li Qingsong's instructions, flew in the direction away from Altair.

The destination star system of each transport ship is different. These star systems are also close and far, the closest is only a dozen light years away, and the farthest is hundreds of light years away.

Even if we are unlucky and encounter accidental damage during the voyage, with so many spaceships, there must be a few that can reach their destination safely, right?

This was the backup plan Li Qingsong prepared for himself.

If things go wrong and that intelligent disaster arrives in the Altair system ahead of schedule, causing the destruction of his main fleet, he can at least use that unknown means of communication to transfer to another star system and develop again.
